Ginetta G21 3 Litre

The Ginetta G21 3 Litre was the original, V6-powered form of the G21, a front-engined two-seat sports car meant to succeed the rear-engined G15. The Ginetta Owners Club says that Ivor and Trevers Walklett wanted a more powerful road car after the G10 and G11 sold badly, and designed a new car styled like the G15 around a Ford 3.0 litre V6. It was launched at the 1970 London Motor Show with a square tube chassis, a sheet steel transmission tunnel, independent rear suspension in the manner of the Jaguar E-Type, disc brakes all round, alloy wheels and electric windows. It was priced at 1795 pounds in component form or 2411 pounds fully built, in direct competition with the Marcos 3-Litre and the TVR Tuscan V6. Ginetta had no capacity to build it while demand for the G15 was high, so only two cars were made before the model turned to a smaller Sunbeam engine.
